Some pics for you flower lovers ... ![]() "Salvation Jane" also known as "Patterson's Curse" growing in the mid-rows of a vineyard. ![]() Known as "Salvation Jane" as it is a stock feed weed which sheep and cattle will eat and it will grow with minimum moisture and is often the only feed available in a drought. Otherwise known as "Patterson's Curse" as it is a weed and there is better stock fodder and it can infest paddocks and compete with better grasses. It also when mature irritates bare skin if brushed against, but not badly. ![]() Mowing it down as a flatter surface in the vineyard increases air flow and reduces frost risk on cold Spring nights. Also mowing down in preparation for spraying with a herbicide to conserve moisture for the vines. |
